About a month after Cort Webber and Bobby Roberts ended "Welcome to that Whole Thing" -- and their 10-year broadcasting partnership -- they also pulled down the websites hosting their show archives. Which meant a lot of people missed their final Dec. 1, 2014 episode -- in which I interviewed them about their entire history as a radio/podcast team and we flipped each other a bunch of good-natured crap.

Bill and Annie invited me back on the "Boy Howdy Podcast" (along with the delightful Conley Smith and Jimmy Presler) for a riotous multi-generational discussion of all things "Star Wars." From the show description:

[UPDATE: When the lads ended their podcast in 2015, they took their entire podcast site down almost immediately, so you can't listen to the episode any more. But all the other links should work.]

So this week I had a mini-reunion with Cort Webber and Bobby Roberts on their new podcast "Welcome To That Whole Thing." Great (and a little weird) to be back in that studio again a year-and-a-half after the end of "Cort and Fatboy."

The lads' assigned discussion topic was a big one: "creativity" -- how I work, along with any Deep Additional Thoughts we might have on the topic.

On the morning of the taping -- in an attempt to get my game face on and wrap my head around a concept I frankly found a little nebulous -- I sent Bobby an email that slapped together a few lessons I've learned (usually the hard way) about doing creative stuff -- particularly as it applies to writing/drawing and trying to get paid for it. We got to some of it on the show. An edited/expanded version of the whole email is after the jump. There will be no test later.

The 200th "Ham-Fisted Radio" podcast — in which host Dawn Taylor is feted/analyzed by pals Eric D. Snider, Bobby Roberts, Jaime Kirk and yrs. truly. This episode can be enjoyed as Dawn in the studio, alone, with the rest of us playing assorted voices in her head.

Dylan Meconis first popped up on the webcomics scene with her French-revolution vampire comedy ‘Bite Me!’ and cemented her reputation with dark historical drama ‘Family Man.’ Along the way she’s also redrawn the ‘Danse Macabre’ for a new generation and spun her own fable of corruption with the Eisner-nominated ‘Outfoxed.’ Mike Russell of CulturePulp.com will interview Meconis about her style and genre-hopping comics, world-building vs. storytelling, coming of age as an artist online, and her influences outside of comics.

(I've been half-toying with the idea of starting an interview podcast somewhere down the line, and if I do, this is more or less how it would go.)_______

Anne’s visiting family in Texas this week, so Mike Russell steps in to chat with Bill about 2012′s crop of movies. Also on the menu: the future of the "Star Wars" franchise, and whether or not we may’ve already seen a glimpse of Khan in the "Star Trek Into Darkness" trailers.
